"A person’s knowledge is the state of connectivity in their mind – the connections between their neurons – and to learn is to form or reshape these connections by strengthening or weakening them through interaction and use. It’s a theory where we grow knowledge, rather than acquiring it, where we learn by immersion in a field of study rather than by being told about it."
"..
the pedagogy of an xMOOC and a cMOOC is different. The xMOOC is typically based on the transmission model of instruction. That is to say, the instructor will attempt to take some knowledge he or she has, and through a process of communications, transfer it to participants and students. Success in this kind of course occurs if the student’s resulting knowledge resembles or (ideally) is identical to the instructor’s knowledge.
In a cMOOC, by contrast, an immersion model of instruction occurs. That si to say, the instructor creates or sets up an environment similar to one in which the students will want to be successful. The instructor will model correct or successful behavior in the environment. Because the environment is dynamic and continually changing, the students will not be able to replicate the instructor’s knowledge, but instead will have to generate his or her own strategies. Success in such a course occurs if the student is able to successfully navigate the environment without scaffolding or support from the instructor."
